National Affairs: Campaign Notes

¶Frank R. Kent, able Democrnk, wrote for the Baltimore Sun: "Beyond
compare, this flaming old man [Senator LaFollette] and his two
attractive sons present the one dramatic, colorful spectacle of the
campaign; and the fight they make surpasses in ardor anything of which
the others are capable."

¶Chauncey M. Depew, onetime ubiquitous, silver-tongued herald of the
Republican Party, said (of Coolidge) : "His own platform and his own
campaign" ; (of Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt) : "The same
sound timber in the son as in the honored sire."
